Home Extensions in Sydney — a Better Alternative than Moving House

 

If you’ve outgrown your current home or it no longer provides everything you need from it, the obvious answer may be to move to somewhere more suitable. Finding something that really is more suitable may be a problem because you may actually like your existing property and be settled where you live.

A better alternative may be to go for home extensions in Sydney that will make your existing property more suited to your current needs. That way, you’ll avoid the disruption of moving, won’t need to search for the right property and will be able to stay in familiar surroundings.

Before you make any commitments, establish what you need from your home and where it is currently falling short. Your family may be growing and you may need more bedrooms and additional living space. A larger kitchen area may be required plus an extra bathroom. Once you’ve determined what you need, assess the current property and plot to establish if there’s sufficient room to extend, which can mean going upwards as well as outwards.

Affording your Building Extension in Sydney

Once you’ve decided what you need, establish if you can afford it. Many companies will quote an average cost per square metre to extend a property but this isn’t a figure you should put too much reliance on. All extensions are different because property owners have unique needs. Additionally, new bathrooms and kitchens are typically more expensive than other rooms due to the level of plumbing, electrical work and fittings needed, so there is no such thing as an average room cost.

What you really need is an accurate cost that you can rely on and that’s what we’ll provide. We’ll inspect your existing property, listen to what you want and give you advice on the best options. Once we agree a plan, we’ll provide a comprehensive quotation that will not vary unless you change your requirements. You can rely on us to deliver exactly what we promise at the agreed price.

With a design and cost agreed, you can sort out your finance. Set a budget and make sure your monthly repayments are affordable, making an allowance for any unseen costs you can’t avoid.

Your extension will create a home that meets your needs and will also increase its value when you eventually decide to sell so it is an investment for the future. With our help, you can improve your lifestyle and increase your comfort level at an affordable cost.
